On August 6, 2014, Mr. David J. Voyticky, our President, informed our Board of
Directors of his intention to resign his position to pursue other professional
opportunities. His resignation was effective on August 12, 2014.

In a joint special meeting held on August 7, 2014, our Board of Directors
("Board") and the Compensation Committee of the Board ("Committee"), approved a
compensation package in connection with Mr. Voyticky's proposed withdrawal from
his employment, of the amounts approved, the final package consists of: (a) a
service award in the amount of (i) $460,000.00 in cash and (ii) the issuance of
79,655 shares of the Company's common stock and (b) the continued vesting of
certain options and common stock (the "Grants") previously granted to Executive
((a) and (b) together, the "Compensation Package"). The Company further agreed
to recommend at the Committee's next meeting that the Committee accelerate the
vesting of the portion of the Grants which have not yet vested, so that, if
approved, they would vest on the day of the Committee's further approval. This
Compensation Package was subject to Mr. Voyticky and our Company reaching an
agreement containing standard releases and post-employment covenants, which were
memorialized in the Withdrawal Agreement discussed below.

On August 11, 2014, we entered into a Departure and Withdrawal Agreement (the
"Withdrawal Agreement") with Mr. Voyticky, effective as of August 12, 2014. The
Agreement provides for, among other things, (a) early expiration of his
employment period under his Employment Agreement dated July 29, 2014 (as
extended by the Extension Agreement dated July 3, 2014) between Mr. Voyticky and
our Company, (b) the Compensation Package described above and (c)
confidentiality restrictions, mutual releases, cooperation and non-disparagement
covenants, indemnities and other agreements related to Mr. Voyticky's withdrawal
from the Company.

We further entered into an Amendment No. 1, dated as of August 11, 2014 (the
"First Lien Amendment") to our Credit Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2014 (the
"First Lien Credit Agreement"), among our Company, as borrower, KeyBank National
Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. Prior to
the First Lien Amendment being in effect, under the First Lien Credit Agreement,
the resignation of Mr. Voyticky would have been a default. The First Lien
Amendment amended this default provision to remove the reference to Mr.
Voyticky. In addition, the First Lien Amendment removes references to David
Voyticky from certain defined terms used in the First Lien Credit Agreement.

We entered into Amendment No. 2, dated as of August 11, 2014 (the "Second Lien
Amendment") to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February
3, 2014 (the "Second Lien Credit Agreement"), among our Company, as borrower,
Apollo Investment Corporation, as administrative agent, and the lenders party
thereto. Prior to the Second Lien Amendment being in effect, under the Second
Lien Credit Agreement, the resignation of Mr. Voyticky would have been a
default. The Second Lien Amendment amended this default provision to remove the
reference to Mr. Voyticky. In addition, the Second Lien Amendment removes
references to David Voyticky from certain defined terms used in the Second Lien
Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Withdrawal Agreement, the First Lien Amendment
and the Second Lien Amendment above are qualified in their entirety by reference
to the complete texts of the Withdrawal Agreement, First Lien Amendment and
Second Lien Amendment, which are filed as Exhibits 5.1, 10.1 and 10.2,
